Winter

“Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces up, snow is exhilarating; there is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.”—John Ruskin

Perhaps it is winter now for you. Winter, when the trees have shed the last of their clothes and chill is in the air whether or not snow is on the ground. If the frost has reached in and touched your heart—and your pocketbook—and left you frozen with grief and helplessness, there is comfort to be found in the continuum of the seasons. Spring will come again. The snows will melt from around your heart, your frozen assets will thaw, the seedlings of the money tree will sprout new leaves of green cash.

Winter is a time of quiet hibernation, a drawing within, harboring your inner resources. Take time to breathe and relax. Meditate. Pray. But stay away from desperate, needy entreaties! Remember that they’re affirmations, not desperations. Make your prayers ones of gratitude for whatever warmth remains in your life. Thank God for the gifts of fortitude, endurance, patience, persistence, and faith. Remember with assurance that spring will arrive—and on time—again. Focus on the abundance that is coming, rather than on the cold hearth of the present. Beneath the surface of the barren ground, vibrant life is waiting for its rebirth in spring. Brilliant diamonds lie hidden in the heart of coal, and golden threads of a new dawning are just around the corner from the stars and moonbeams of the night. The sun will warm the earth again, the grass will grow, your heart will lighten. Love and money will renew their acquaintance with you, tipping their hats and nodding good day.

Today’s Affirmation: “The joys of springtime are bursting into bloom in my life!”

It’s been winter for a lot of people I’ve been talking with lately. They have caught the very nasty cold/flu bug that’s going around and have been down for the count. There are a lot of cold remedies out there that help soothe the achy, running nose, stuffy nose, sniffle, cough code-in-da-node symptoms, but nothing really cures it. You just have to rest and wait.

This is very difficult for Type-A, busy entrepreneurs.

There’s an old joke that says, “If you do nothing, your cold will last 7 days. On the other hand, if you go to the doctor, take Tylenol, Nyquil, Theraflu, or cough medicine…your cold will last 7 days.” The medications are good for relieving symptoms, helping you sleep and feel better, but a cold is a cold and will last how long it lasts. They just don’t have a cure for it yet.

This is when entrepreneurs start getting uptight about all the work they aren’t able to do. Once when it happened to me, I started getting really anxious that my next teleclass was starting in two weeks and I was missing out on a whole week’s worth of marketing and selling, and maybe I’d have fewer people and make less money, etc. etc.…grumble, grumble.

Then I remembered that I had set the dates of the workshops, and I could jolly well move the start date back a week if I wanted to.

Have you ever beat yourself up about not making a deadline when you were the one that set the deadline in the first place?

Yeah, that’s true craziness.

So I got smart and declared that the next 8-week Financial Stress Reduction® teleclasses had been postponed one week and would start a week later.

That schedule you beat yourself up with? You made it up. So you can make up something else! What would you like to change or rearrange in your life today?

And my next 8-week Financial Stress Reduction® Teleclasses start the week of February 15th:

I treat money disorders – spending bulimia and income anorexia 🙂 If you know someone who could be making a lot more money, a healthier profit, whose work shouldn’t be so all-consuming or so hard, then the Financial Stress Reduction® Telecourse may be just the guidance and support they’re looking for.

For more than 20 years, I have been helping small business owners make huge leaps in their income and enjoy fabulous success and prosperity.

“I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to create your workshop and share it with us. The training I received in your workshop was incredible and the best thing I could have done as a brand new business owner because I am going to start my business the right way. And thanks for being you, because you give me permission to be me, and I love that.”—Jenee Dana, My Focus Book, LLC, 323-356-0420, ucla.jenee@ymail.com

"I started reading Chellie's book and doing her affirmations about a year before I took her class. Prior to this I had many customers (30) that bid me out for each and every project (no quality customers). There was too much to manage and no continuity. A year later I had only 5 customers with regular monthly business and am billing more than double what I had in past years. Less stress, more money and a better life! Thank you Chellie for your help! My only mistake was not taking the class sooner!" — Jennifer Christianson, Account Executive, Transcontinental Direct, 310-937-2483

"I took Chellie's Stress Reduction earlier this year and things went great — for awhile. While slogging through a particular "effort-full" month I spotted I had stopped applying some of the principles in the workshop. So I decided right there to sign up for Chellie's follow-on workshop, and immediately made over $45,000 in commissions in the two weeks after I started. Coincidence? I think not!" — Jack Molisani, Lead Recruiter, ProSpring Technical Staffing, 888-378-2333 Ext. 2, www.ProSpring.net

"Chellie's teachings, affirmations, words, workshop homework and, most importantly, her wisdom and fun-loving spirit helped shift old patterns and belief systems and revolutionize my life — above and beyond the finances.During her workshop, money flowed to me in increasing amounts even though Iwas starting up a new business at the time did not have a product to sell. I followed her homework suggestions and did the daily affirmations and my old programming about money dramatically shifted… money showed up in the form of unearned income: a reduction in my home and office rent, lowered rates through vendors and extra capital from investors--without asking. Even the right materials for my designs showed up in October--after a frustrating and exhaustive 1 1/2 year global search. But the most important shifts came through changes in my belief system which helped me build a solid foundation for my budding business. I am grateful to Chellie, her wit, smile and laughter--her gold shoes and magic wands. My business, my health, my wealth and I thank you! Take Chellie's workshop-- it will change your life! You will never fear your finances again!" — P. Hamilton, P. Hamilton Design

"I have to tell you this is the most fun workshop/class/seminar I've ever taken — and you know what a seminar junkie I am. Besides getting a lot of great information and meeting wonderful people (Dolphins, as Chellie calls us), it's just a kick to spend time with one of the most enlightened and entertaining women I've ever met. One of the results I've gotten from the class: I'm about to pay off $24,000 of my $32,000 credit card debt (mostly from seminars, instructional books and CDs!). Another: I'm inspired to start my own coaching sessions and workshops. In my book, Chellie is a goddess! — Moira Shepard, Radio Host, 310-923-8551, www.TriumphOverTrauma.com
